I think the fight would have been ruled a No Contest. And it should have been as I agree the fight was stopped too early.

The eye poke is a foul. So if someone can’t continue because of a inadvertent foul, it goes to the scorecards. A broken toe is something that happened during the course of all legal strikes and fighting. Basically it would have been a TKO for Sonnen.

6-3 on my predictions overall.

What a shitty night for MMA refs (miss you Rosenthal). I caught the crazyness in the prelims and think the Jones/Sonnnen was CLEARLY too early. Doesn’t mean the fight wouldn’t have gone the same way, but Chael was intelligently defending himself AND adjusting his position. I forget that little guys name, but he’s usually a decent ref.
Shitting reffing really pisses me off. Jones had that round in the bag and was putting a beating on Chael and now I (and a shit ton of others) are questioning Jones’s win based on the actions of someone else. It’s not fair to Chael, Jones, or the fans. Athletic commissions set the guidelines for these guys and they DO have to go through quite a bit of training, but when fighter has an off night it affects his career, when a ref has one it affects the careers and lives of others.

We have a new low-water mark for shitty referee decisions. Mulhern probably shouldn’t be allowed to umpire little league baseball games.

I wish the UFC could set guidelines and demand refs (and judges) take required training, so they could move towards consistency in both reffing and judging.

PS. If Belcher doesn’t produce a note from a doctor explaining that he was not fit to fight tonight, he should make a public apology for not making any attempt to win the fight.
PPS. I hope his eye is fine. He had no business being in the ring with a fighter of Bisping’s calibre, but I definitely hope is okay.

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 07:15:03 +0000http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=79249#comment-291509How would the broken toe been treated any different than the eye poke? It would have been a stoppage and go to the judges and Jones would have clearly won the round.

Maybe it is not the same. Not sure.

Jones clearly made a statement and I think I can hear all his haters sobbing in their soup from here. If he wins his next fight much less if he wins if stoppage then he will own most title defenses at LHW and most stoppages. Then what will the haters say next? Maybe we can hate because he didn’t avenge his loss to Matt Hammill. Sounds good.
